A fish and chip van or other catering?
A plated meal needs a kitchen, more staff and generally costs more per head. A fish and chip van needs a level spot and permission to park, and the food is cooked to order. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking gets its own quote.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

Which station is closest to Upper Woolhampton?
The closest is Midgham station, roughly 1 mile away.

Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.

How it works
Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. Around midsummer it stays light in Upper Woolhampton until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening events are normally served in daylight. In December it is dark by about 4:00pm, so winter events need lighting by the van.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
